Noah Cyrus: I Want My Loved Ones To Go With Me (Afterlife Science with Kim Penberthy)

I Want My Loved Ones To Go With Me: Considering Death and the Afterlife with Science

By Sing For Science

Singer-songwriter Noah Cyrus talks about her haunting new album inspired by a hymn written by her great-grandfather, and her deepest fear—not death itself, but being separated from her loved ones. She also opens up about her near-death experience and the profound losses that shaped her experience with love and grief. Joining her is Dr. Kim Penberthy of UVA’s Division of Perceptual Studies, whose research into near-death experiences and after-death communication offers a fascinating look at what may await us beyond life.
